| Abstract: | The U.S. Congress authorized a library for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1879. The library was formally established in 1882 with the naming of the first librarian and began with a staff of three and a collection of 1,400 books.
Today, the USGS Libraries Program is one of the world‘s largest Earth and natural science repositories and a resource of national significance used by researchers and the public worldwide. |
